quick question here, at the wheels - how can the driveshafts be removed?

is it only by removing the hub nuts?????

im asking this because i didnt remove the hub nut and still i have managed to pop this off, is this broke???

You should have to inro the nut to remove the driveshaft from the hub to be able to replace the outer boost.
The cv joint is retained on the driveshaft by a circlip that sits in a groove, in theory you I don't see why this couldn't come out if everything else was undone bar the driveshaft nut. But when it's altogether as it should be, it shouldn't be able to come out.

Which one did you pop off? offside/near side/ inner/outer?

drivers side at the hub.

it was when i was removing the engine, was struggling to get it off at the engine but then all of a sudden this side just came loose and popped out by itself :?

made my life easier at the time but its just come to me now that im sure that shouldnt have happened.

its possible that the other side is also loose, it hasnt come off yet but theres alot of movement in the cv boot.

thanks

Im not sure about motorfactors but I have yet to see a better sealing system than the standard Nissan one, and I have been through a lot of CV boots and know a good one when I see one, but £26!!! No wonder when I asked for all 8 the price was so high!
